and removed out from journal). The propeller shaft'may be sufficiently inclined at coupling a so that the shaft and propeller may be removed forward. The horizontal rudder may also be supported by hearing f from the strut boss (Z either above or below I the center line ofthe shaft so' that the bearters' Patent is ing 6 can be removed aft from strut boss d without inclining the horizontal, rudder or rudders g. In either case the horizontal strut 70 would be located in line with the horizontal rudder. I

In Fig. 4 is shown how the propeller hub with strut boss (Z and a special fair water 0 on the horizontalrudder are fitted to make a continuous fairwater and also howthe horizontal strut fairs with the horizontal rudder and makes practically one continuous body. i

This invention can also be used for sub. marines or submersible boats having three or more shafts in combination with some propellers with propeller shaft bearing in accordance with this invention, and'some as generally used with the propeller shaft bearing forward of the propeller.
